While other apps rate food based on government nutrition labels, VeriFoods ranks products by what actually matters: contaminant levels from independent lab testing. We scan barcodes too, but instead of recycling label data, we show you heavy metals, pesticides, PFAS, and other hidden dangers. We are not funded by, affiliated with, or influenced by any food brand, retailer, or industry group.
Nutrition labels only show what brands want you to see. We show you third-party lab results for contaminants, percentile rankings against similar products, and data-driven safety scores.

VeriFoods is an independent food safety testing platform. We purchase grocery products ourselves and send them to ISO-certified laboratories for contaminant testing, including heavy metals, pesticides, PFAS, microplastics, and bisphenols. Our results are published in a searchable database and mobile app.
Yuka and similar apps score products based on government nutrition labels. VeriFoods also scans barcodes and shows nutrition data, but we go further by ranking products based on independent lab testing for contaminants like heavy metals, pesticides, PFAS, and microplastics that never appear on any label.
We send products to ISO-certified labs for testing across heavy metals (lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury), 500+ pesticides and herbicides including glyphosate, PFAS (forever chemicals), microplastics, and bisphenols (BPA and 14 others). We also flag GMOs, harmful additives, and seed oils in our product ratings.
Basic product information is free for everyone. Premium members get full lab test results, percentile rankings, and advanced search across 400K+ products. Premium also includes exclusive articles with comprehensive testing summaries, category breakdowns, and best and worst tested products, saving you hours of research and helping you make safer choices faster.
